I'm a little confused as to what you're doing. It sounds like you have installed two wigwag systems. One in the truck, and one in the trailer. Correct?
And the trailer system is working (with LED lights?), but the truck isn't. Correct?
Does the Dodge have LED or incandescent bulbs?
For the trailer, you only need 3 relays total, plus a flasher, to make the bright filaments wigwag side to side. (Ignoring the "enough load to make it "flash"). Yes, you may use the trailer battery as a power source. Wired correctly, there won't be a back-feed when the trailer is plugged into the truck.
If the truck has incandescent bulbs there is enough load to make a conventional flasher flash if you use a 5-relay system and incorporate the fronts into the system. You need 5 relays (plus a flasher, or a flasher input from the truck) total to make both the fronts and rears wigwag (One in each corner's circuit. Parallel the relay coils for the front and rear bulb on each side). Make the connections at the base of the steering column in the turn signal switch wiring.
Yes, you can use the output from the turn signal flasher, but it is only energized with Ignition on. Perhaps use the hazard flasher output, as it's energized at all times. I'm not familiar with Dodge, but the flasher wires should also be accessible at base of column.
With the LED trailer plugged into the Dodge, the truck's system will make the trailer lights wigwag with the truck. LED's or not.
There's some ideas. I don't know how to post diagrams. I wish I could. Took me 60 seconds to sketch the 5 relay truck system out. But I have no idea how to post it. Sorry.
